Soul Calibur IV: Yoda video and new screens

by Terrence Stasse { May 29th 2008 at 12:30AM }

When it was announced that Soul Calibur IV would play host to guest characters from the Star Wars universe, the collective fanboy meltdown concerning everything from the storyline to the balance was absolute music to the ears. Unfortunately, they may have been right on one point: Yoda's size does seem to give him an advantage. Watch the clip and decide for yourself.

Also, thanks Ubisoft being the publisher for the game in the PAL territories, Ubidays brings us a ton of new screens for the game, including shots of a new character who is actually, get this, male. The new shots show everything from special attacks to moments from cutscenes and everything in between, so get clicking.

Fuck Yoda, why couldn't we have had Obi-wan Kenobi. He was the only badass in any of the movies.

Armor damage!
Finally we see something about it (at least for me it's the first time).

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT THE DUCKS!?

Hehehe. Cute duckies are bigger then Yoda ^_^

I wonder if the duck is a hidden secret character? That'd be sweeeeeeeet.

Is this a practice fight? Or does the person/AI controlling the non-Yoda character just suck?

I wonder what "jumping the shark" is in Japanese.

I friggen knew it, Yoda's small size makes most medium and high attacks fly right over him. People are going to be abusing Yoda online now. Good job Namco, good job.

Gah he's going to be like Oddjob in GE all over again.

They should have made the x360 character someone cooler like Darth Maul or General Grievous. Actually General Grievous would fit right in with the other characters, hes like a Star Wars Yoshimitsu, with the mask and all. Hell they should of even added the Red Royal Guards that protect the emperor, or that crazy looking fool from Crimson Empire. They used forcepikes with interweaved cortisis ore.

Its Yoda. Its Star Wars. It doesn't matter to me, its Yoda. Which means its rocks face.

STEVENMPOO7 @ May 29th 2008 4:49PM

yoda is ok, maybe we get vader as a DLC 800 MS points

OK, for all you blind people who are bad annalists, the first high kick she does misses him so he must of ducked because she did the same exact kick later in the video and it hits him.. same exact pose, same exact angle of the weapon and raised foot. I'm sure yoda would have some weaknesses if he is harder to hit.
